**One-third** of outpatient primary care & specialist physicians contracted w/ Medicaid managed care plans in 4 states do not meaningfully participate in the program.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. States should devote resources to regularly evaluating Medicaid networks through a combination of audit studies and claims data analysis.

2. States should pair regular evaluation of managed care plan networks with strict penalties for noncompliance.

My president.

There is no time to waste when it comes to tackling the crises we face. That's why today, I am heading to the Oval Office to get right to work delivering bold action and immediate relief for American families.

Yet another reason to vote in November and always. Please make sure you’re registered to vote!!! @DoctorsForBiden

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Trump’s hand-picked successor to Justice Ginsburg’s seat makes it clear: they intend to destroy the Affordable Care Act & overturn Roe. This selection would move the court further right for a generation & harm millions of Americans.

I strongly oppose Judge Barrett’s nomination.

Please take a moment to read this incredible op ed by my friend and colleague @reshmagar . Now is not the time to be reopening schools without a safe, effective, thoughtful testing plan in place. #BeMDC

So this is going to get personal...

A 🧵:

As folks might know, my mom is a professor at Miami Dade College (@MDCollege). Next Monday, she will be forced to go back to the classroom and lab to teach IN PERSON.

I think this is a really, really bad idea. I'm terrified. 1/

Let’s change America together. #vote and make sure you are part of the change. #BidenHarris2020

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

We need to elect @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. And after November, we need to stay in the fight to get big things done. So when our children and grandchildren ask what we did during this dark chapter, we can say: We organized, we persisted—and we changed America. #DemConvention

Yes! Disparities matter. Let’s identify them and create interventions. @CardiacUnited thank you for leading the way, Dr. Wendy Nembhard and Dr. Jamilah Hackworth.

[Avital Ludomirsky, MD, MPP @AvitalLMD]

So excited to listen in on and learn from this conversation. Thank you @CardiacUnited for making this happen. Let’s work together to end health disparities!
